Answer 1

C

Answer 2

option :C

Answer 3

1. R introduces the general statement: Shifu once proclaimed that all life is illusion.
   This is likely the opening sentence — it sets up the theme.

2. S gives a specific incident: One day, when a bull gave him chase, Shifu began running for his life.
   This follows naturally after the general statement — a story illustrating the idea.

3. P shows the student’s question: Shifu’s student exclaimed, “Why do you run since the bull is an illusion?”
   This happens after Shifu runs — the student questions the action given the earlier proclamation.

4. Q is Shifu’s reply: Shifu said, “Surely my running away from the bull is also an illusion.”
   This is the punchline — answering the student’s question.

So the order is: R → S → P → Q (RSPQ).

Option C
